The presence of senile plaques in the brain is one of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The biogenesis and clearance of the amyloid β peptide (A β ), the main component of the lesions, lie at the center of the pathogenesis of AD. In sporadic AD, the increase of A β levels seems to be indicative of failure of clearance mechanisms. We previously showed that the clearance of the wild type A β40...
